YONKERS, N.Y., May 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Karin Weisburgh,
senior research analyst at Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of
Consumer Reports magazine, was named Westchester Cycle Club Bike Commuter
of the Year at CU's Yonkers headquarters today.

Ms. Weisburgh commutes 10 miles each way year round. She bundles up in
the winter and rides in shirt sleeves in the summer. Her route from
Larchmont takes her along Quaker Ridge in New Rochelle, down Mill Road in
Eastchester to Tuckahoe, where she picks up Tuckahoe Road. She takes
Tuckahoe Road West to the South County Trailway, which brings her to
Executive Boulevard and Truman Avenue and the Consumers Union headquarters.

The research analyst also helped organize a bike-to-work effort at
Consumers Union. As many as 20 of her co-workers planned to bike to work on
Friday May 16, which is National Bike to Work Day. She coordinated the
event with co-workers Dan Franklin, director of labor relations and ethics
officer (who is an avid cyclist), and Rola Nesheiwat, CU's Wellness Center
coordinator. Cycling to work is a key ingredient in CU's efforts to provide
a great environment for health and fitness for all of its employees.

Ms. Weisburgh's top 10 reasons for riding to work: It saves on gas and
car repairs, it's good exercise, it becomes a routine and you don't have to
think about it, it's good for the environment, you can eat anything you
want and not gain weight, you appreciate the outdoors, it's fun, there are
no traffic delays, you are supporting the bike industry, and even on bad
work days, the commute makes it all worthwhile.

Second place went to Nick Mankovich, who rides daily from Yorktown
Heights to his job at Philips Healthcare in Briarcliff Manor. When he began
cycle commuting in 2000, it took him 50 minutes. Now he does it in 30, and
in 2007, it helped him ride 2,776 miles. The previous year, he logged 3,108
miles.

Mr. Mankovich's fun video of his commute is available at
http://www.westchestercycleclub.org. Third place went to Kevan Full, who
rides from Chappaqua to Stamford on a winding 23-mile journey through Mount
Kisco, Armonk and Greenwich. It's a hilly ride that keeps him in tip-top
shape.

Five cycling commuters won honorable mention. They were: Lauren Press,
who rides from Manhattan's Upper West Side, down the Hudson and across the
Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn; Ted Rubel, who rides from Dobbs Ferry to his
office in Elmsford along the South County Trailway; Peter Bantz, the chef
at Pete's Saloon and Restaurant in Elmsford, who commutes twice a week from
Ossining;

Lisa Baker, who takes her bike to work in Elmsford, then rides home to
North Salem and back again in the morning; and Scott Seaboldt, an art
teacher at New Rochelle High School who rides from the city's South End to
the North End, in snow, sleet, rain, and sunshine.

Ms. Weisburgh will receive the first place award - a Westchester Cycle
Club jersey and a $100 check, from Heritage Realty Services, whose
president, George Constantin is a WCC member and is encouraging cycle
commuting at the office park his company owns and operates on Gannett Drive
in White Plains. Second place award for Nick Mankovich is a half-price bike
fitting at RepartoCorse of Valhalla. Kevin Full will receive a book on
Lance Armstrong's Tour de France victories.
